The easiest way to move through newsgroups is to arrange your
sequence so that they are presented in the order you want to view
them.  Even if you have your sequence perfectly arranged you will
often want to go to a newsgroup that isn't next in your sequence.  If
you want to go to a newsgroup that's close to where you currently are
in your sequence, use the A or B command to step forward or backward
through your sequence (see section 2.5 above for details on the A and
B commands).  If you want to go to a newsgroup that's not close by,
use the G command.  With the G command you can either:

* Temporarily go to a newsgroup, which means that nn will
  automatically return to the group you came from when you finish
  with the group.  nn will not keep track of articles that you read
  or flag -- it's as if you were never there.

* Jump to a newsgroup, which means that nn will not remember the
  group you came from and when you are finished with the group you
  will move on to the next group in your sequence (i.e., the group
  after the one you just jumped to).  nn will keep track of the
  articles you read and flag.
